"SUMMER IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SEASON..."
and moving to Southern California from rainy England, I like to be outdoors as much as possible to take full advantage of the Vitamin D we are blessed with living here I love beach days, paddle boarding in the bay, hikes with my pup, Moose, and al fresco happy hours after work Here are a few of my new faves for Summer along with some tried and tested long-time favourites that will be staples in my repertoire for the rest of time
Sunscreen is an absolute must for me and I adore La Roche Posay as a brand I actually did a couple of campaigns for them way back when, when I was modelin in Paris at 17 so my relationship with their products runs deep My go-to is their Anthelios tinted mineral sunscreen It's SPF 50, the perfect amount of tint so you can go barefaced on the beach and not scare small children, and is water resista so dips in the sea don't affect your protection It's a must-buy
I love wearing skimpy summer fits and itty bitty bikinis but with my pale English skin, I do need a little help to be bronzed and feel my most confident (especially when filming) You know the saying: "If you can't tone it, tan it" - well that is my mantra all summer when I'm too busy to work out or lay by the pool and catch those rays that make you glow naturally I am a huge fan of Self Tan and consider myself somewhat of an expert at self-application (I knew I was learning those yoga poses for something!) my go-to body self-tanner is Bondi Sands 1hr express foam (I leave it on for 2-3 hours and the results last for a solid 5 days!) For my face, I use Brazi Bronze sunkissed self-tan serum mixed into my moisturizer every night Both are foolproof and as my birthday is April 1st I am fully aware being a fool is my birthright Thank me later
To keep my body and mind at it's optimum I take a plethora of vitamins and supplements I have recently jumped on the Athletic Greens bandwagon and after a couple of months of using it every day, I cannot imagine ever going back One spoonful of their nutrition-packed powder in water starts my day and it's not only delicious but it makes me feel like I can conquer the world (or the OC at the very least) I have the monthly subscription so I don't even need to think about going out and re-buying, it just arrives at my door--ideal! Supplement-wise I love the brand JSHEALTH and was lucky enough to meet the founder recently who literally glows I'll take one of everything she's having, please I am obsessed with the Hair & Energy capsules The Sleep & Calm Mind from the PM+ range has been a game changer to calm and relax my busy brain and ensure I get a good night's rest
My make-up look for summer is usually pretty low key (when I'm not filming Selling the OC or attending all the fun events that come along with being on a TV show) I am obsessed with the entire range of Too Faced Cosmetics, from their foundations to the insanely (in the best way) pigmented blushes, lipsticks, and eye palettes I have yet to meet an item I don't love My ultimate pick if I had to choose would be their lip injection lip glosses which tingle and plump up my pout perfectly Eyebrows are also big for me and I love playing up to the bushy brow brigade by using UK company WBCo Their eyebrow pencils and extra strong hold brow soap is where it's at!
Polly Brindle
To take the day off I adore the Cacay + C fermented cleansing oil by CACAYE, it's so nourishing and melts off makeup/sunscreen any grime from the day beautifully and the packaging looks so beautiful displayed in my bathroom, I am quite picky on what I use on my skin so this has passed all of the tests!
My summer IT bag for this year is literally the perfect purse It is luxurious, chic, and has all of the touches you would expect from a high-end bag It has butter soft cream leather with summer sun yellow suede lining and chic brushed brass hardware, and is my ultimate pick for when I'm heading to my multi-million dollar listing appointments, Sunday brunch with the girls or if I somehow manage to find myself on a yacht for some sunset cheersing (happens more often than I would like to admit) My work colleague and friend, Mary Bonnet (you may have seen her on Selling Sunset) designed a full range with luxe brand Hammitt, my purse of joy is called the VIP Satchel (obvs!) It's limited edition so jump on it quickly!
I love to spend as much of my free time hanging with my pup, Moose He is getting older (he turns 11 this year) and as he is a big boy weighing in at a beefy 92lbs, his hips and joints started to bother him a little after our rambunctious beach frolics or long hikes so to make sure he stays in tip-top shape and is with me for as long as possible I only give him the best quality treats I give him 100% raw freeze-dried protein from Life Elevated; all of their goodies are allergy-friendly, gluten and grain free and Moose will do just about anything for them so they must be delicious 11/10 would recommend to fellow fur baby parents
My signature scent for this summer is Gucci Flora I got a mini pack of tester sized fragrances to see what I liked best and this particular scent got allllll of the compliments every time I wear it so I'll commit to the big bottle! Also bonus points for the packaging it's such a beautifully designed bottle I love having it on show in my bathroom
Talking of fragrances, I don't just want to smell divine personally, but also I want everyone who enters my home to think it smells like heaven (with a huge dog around it's not always that easy) Candles are lovely for ambiance, but to really pack a punch on scenting the space I am a long term user and fan of AromaTech and their nebulizing air diffusers I have two of their AroMini BT's in (sleek black and chic gold) and their scent library is full of the most delectable fragrances known to man My favourite picks are SANTAL, Love Affair and their newest scent Between the Sheets is *insert drooling face here* Pet-friendly, no need for water for maximum efficiency (and zero risk of mold) make this the piste de la resistance in home fragrance options

Q&A with Kendria
What is your inspiration for the clothing you sell?
I gather inspiration from all over, but right now my focus is trendy but comfortable. I try to stay true to myself and never sell anything I personally wouldn’t wear. What do I want to wear during an at home Netflix marathon? Of course I love to people watch and trend watch. What do I see at the airport? What would I feel comfortable flying in. What do I see at events? What do I chose to wear there? The mall (if I ever go) the restaurant, the park, the internet streets.
What has been your biggest challenge?
My biggest challenge has been staying consistent when I’m easily distracted and pulled in a million different directions, and life gets in the way. With two kids I have to take them to games, doctors appointments, make sure they’re fed and get attention, so my business will NEVER have 100% of my focus, and I am okay with that. Many working mothers experience this same push and pull. Also, pushing past people that told me to get a real job and scoffed at the idea of me being successful in any business or outright wished for me to fail has also been my biggest challenge and also my biggest motivation.
How did you decide to start your own clothing company?
It was born out of my strong-willed nature to go after exactly what I want. I was shopping in NYC and stumbled upon a store where I wanted a specific skirt, they told me unless I was buying wholesale I couldn’t have the skirt. I left completely annoyed because that’s how bad I wanted it. I stewed over that skirt for the next 24 hours when I finally said to myself “I think I could sell the other 9” and at that moment my hair stood up on my arms and I knew I had stumbled upon something special.
Why clothes?
Clothing was always a big deal in my life, having grown up in a very conservative Pentecostal religious household. I was always trying to be stylish within the dress code of the religion, which required knee-length skirts, elbow-length shirts, and no shirts below the collarbone. So I was born trying to make something stylish out of nothing. I am still drawn to dresses and skirts and feel most comfortable in them and that shows in the clothing that I sell…Although now they are sometimes a shorter length here, a plunging neckline there, and I felt comfortable showing more skin.
What advice would you give someone looking to start their own business?
Make sure you aren’t just doing it because being an entrepreneur is trendy right now, this life isn’t for everyone but if this commitment is really what you really want, stop waiting for it to be perfect and start. Make the jump, do the research, take the calculated chance, and stop procrastinating.
How do you balance both family and work?
Some days I don’t, I would love to talk to the person that’s completely figured this out. PLEASE SEND HELP Haha Some days I get it right, most days I feel I’ve fallen short. Again, a lot of working moms carry this guilt every day. Lately, I’ve been going over my entire day at night before bed with a guided journal and I’ll try to pick out something I accomplished for my business that moved the needle, something good I did for my family that showed I am present and something I did for my health or myself. If I can think of something in each category that was a good day, if not, I’ll try again tomorrow.
If you were to give advice to someone on how to stay inspired in your business what would you say?
Be ever-growing and ever-evolving within your business and as a person outside of your business. I learned a long time ago that being comfortable is synonymous with death for me as a person. Being stagnant isn’t an option. Be constantly stretching and growing. You cannot be inspired every single day, on those days maybe take a break from what is draining you and give yourself grace. Happiness is the true sign of success.

Camrose Wine Co. features a Rosé of Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) and a Sauvignon Blanc (Sonoma County/North Coast). The smiles this brand has created, the stories that have been shared, and the lessons learned, bring me so much joy and happiness, not even a glass of wine can do. Lots of people can make great wine, what sets them apart is their story. Behind every wine label, is a vision, a story…oh yeah, and a whole lot of hard work. At the heart of Camrose, is an opportunity to bring awareness to a fraction of our population who are most vulnerable. Pediatric cancer is one of those unexplainable things in life. With a story close to my heart, this brand was created to remind you to celebrate this precious life we have. Be happy, be bright, be you. Fall in love, listen to your heart, get your heart broken, allow yourself time to heal, land the dream job, start a wine label, move to another country, get up early to watch the sunrise, admire a sunset, pick a fight, make amends, take a leap, take a splash, speak out, color your hair wild, be spontaneous, make mistakes, learn from them, live your life fearlessly and never take a day for granted. Life is nothing like we pictured it. Don’t let that stop you. So raise a glass of Camrose and cheers to that!
$1 of each bottle sold is donated to the pediatric brain tumor and cancer community.
Cheers, Annemarie Owner & FounderTWENTY-ONE

GRACE Blu
When Rona Graf launched Grace Blu in 2007, she made the intentional decision not to use her own name. From the beginning, her vision for her design studio was a “collaborative of creatives” that would combine their skills and experiences to create one-of-a-kind spaces.
The Grace Blu mindset and mantra is "designing outside the box." The meaning is two-fold, as seen in their convention challenging designs and client-centric approach. Rona and team forgo genre and rigid processes, instead editing their approach and style to create a fresh and inimitable space every single time.
